Question for board:

Most of the contributors are in general agreement regarding the fate of the dollar and its impact on GOLD. Include also a long list of research writers, like Puplava, Sinclair & Others.

However, most if not all have at one time or another brought up the subject of Gov't involvement in controlling the markets and the POG. We have all read many articles about the PPT, Stabilization fund, and Sinclair's own recent examples of timed dumping of Gold on the Comex. Also Greenie's comment about supplying gold if the price rises too fast. (can't recall the exact phrase)

Two questions. (hope these are not taboo)

1) If such controls are in place, do our analysis have any value when markets are being manipulated?

2) If our analysis is correct, why would any CB sell Bullion? Given as how they are in full awareness of all the facts/issues pretaining to and surrounding monetary considerations. After all, this issue is their raison d'etre.

Thanks
Phil
